Hello Jeanie-sedg,
Well done for finishing your chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment - an important milestone! I am sorry to hear though that you have been suffering from these side effects and have experienced aches in your back and neck as well as tightness in your head. Our website has useful information on targeted cancer drugs. It might be worth mentioning these aches to your GP if you haven't done so already and I hope that you will hear from the experiences of other community members who have had similar issues as a result of target therapy or cancer treatment and that they will be along shortly to share them with you.
Our nurses are also available on this free number 0808 800 4040 so feel free to give them a call Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if there is anything you would like to discuss with them.
I hope the rest of your treatment goes well and that you manage to minimise these side effects after you have spoken to your doctor about them.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
